hey btw!!!

if your phantom shifts are (routinely)

> painful

> causing you to feel sick

> emotionally distressing

> accompanied by drastic mood changes (anger, deep or lasting depression, mania for example)

> accompanied by deep seated, and/or unexplainable fear that something or someone is going to hurt you

> accompanied by feelings of deep confusion, or feeling like you're in a dreamlike state (not necessarily dissociation), or are unable to recall things abt yourself/your environment like your address, age, what month/year it is, or where you are

> accompanied by periods where taking care of yourself is very difficult for you for any reason (e.g. showering, dressing, accessing food and eating it)

that’s not the average alterhuman experience.

i’m not saying you’re sick and need help if any or several of these apply to you. but if it’s impeding your quality of life and/or it's an overall negative experience, there are often options you have to make your shifts more manageable (if that’s something you want. it's ok if you don't want to do that either)

footnote: this is not an exhaustive "warning" list. these are things i frequently experience in my day to day life as part of my psychosis and part of my nonhuman identity.

footnote two: medication or therapy is not the only option you have, and it is often not a 'fix all' by itself without community outside of a clinical setting.

I think, at least until I’m done with university, I might stop doing commissions entirely. I am planning so far on finishing the paid requests and commissions I still owe along with refunding everything entirely that was given with the commissions when I turn over the finished pieces because I do feel bad for taking so long on everything. I will still accept all art requests of course, just no payment 💕

I feel a lot of guilt for not being able to balance my school work and home life with my art duties lately. Life still is too unstable between parents and living situation on top of schoolwork that it’s been hard to find the motivation to draw even with the time I have because my mental health hasn’t been the greatest.

To end and to summarize, I’m going to be focusing on art during this reading week. This batch will likely be my last commission batch for the foreseeable future, until I am solid and have my shit together to time manage appropriately. Again, I will gladly accept all art requests especially from mutuals for inspiration, however, I do not feel comfortable accepting payment anymore when it is extremely unfair for people to wait on me to pull through and deliver their pieces.

//. I am going to go ahead and answer this one because I feel it's important to those who may know me, especially. Maybe it's my mood today but I'm gonna admit something I normally wouldn't --

I am only so ambitious in my writing and my ideas are only so fantastical because of a few reasons: --I have an overactive imagination and dreams for my own future. --Writing is my passion. It is everything I have ever wanted to do in life. I want to be an established author. I want to create worlds and share my visions with others. I want them to enjoy my words and the things I create and offer an immersive experience. --I am extremely insecure.- I am overzealous about my ideas and latch onto the things people want to do because I am insecure in my own talents. Myself, actually. -I struggle with rejection and seek validation. --without going too deep on my past here, I have been rejected, mistreated and disposed of by people I cared very much about and its had an impact on me. My self esteem and self worth were shot all to Hell. (pathetic I know). This is my outlet. My passion is my outlet. And I want it to be the best that it can be. I want my mutuals to enjoy writing with me, just as much as I enjoy creating these stories.

I guess i just want to be interesting so I dont keep losing people and being tossed aside.

so forgive me if i have seemed very attention seeking and ungrateful.

My parents just came home from Mexico, they lest on Halloween. It's Nov. 11 now. My older brothers and I have been watching over our little brother, and I'm the one who had to stay with him most the time. It was exhausting and I'm glad my parents are back, but at the same time it feels weird. I got so anxious when I saw they were home, I don't know why. Maybe cause I haven't finished my homework and I don't want my mom to yell at me? Who knows. Hell, I even forgot to water my bonsai for the past 11 days because of how focused I was on my brother. It just doesn't feel like the best thing. At least I might have more free time, though? I've been meaning ti paint the Lesslo sword and detangle my Miku wig. I'll start those in... a bit. I think.

Just know if I'm offline for a month or smt it's cause my mom grounded my phone for not doing my projects lollllll
